Top Chinese celebrity: Debuted from Running Man

“Gu…”

"Ah...teacher?!"

"Why are you here?"

As the door opened

The moment it happened, all the students present, who were filled with hope and excited thinking that Gu Qing had opened the door, were stunned into silence, as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over their heads.

"How did I get here? Or how did you all get here?!"

Zhang Songwen's voice wasn't loud, but it echoed clearly in the narrow corridor, "This is a student dormitory, a place for rest and study, not a place for you to chase after celebrities and act recklessly! Look at the behavior you're exhibiting!"

His stern gaze swept over the boys who were crowding at the front, their faces flushed with excitement: "Especially you male classmates!"
Leading a group to force their way into someone else's dormitory and disturbing the students' rest—where have they learned the school rules and regulations of Beijing Film Academy?
Where is the artist's professionalism and basic respect for others?!

then,

He then looked at the female students in the crowd who were trying to shrink away, "And you too! Female students running into the boys' dormitory, what kind of behavior is this?!"
Where is your self-respect and dignity? If other boys were surrounded like this, would you think it would be appropriate? Put yourself in their shoes!

"Idol worship is not a reason for you to lose your rationality and boundaries!"
If you like an artist, you should learn from their good qualities and support their work, instead of disturbing their private life in such an extreme, childish, or even offensive way!
Your behavior isn't an expression of affection; it's creating immense trouble and danger for him!

Zhang Songwen's reprimands were both reasonable and compassionate, and his teachings were earnest and patient.

This instantly brought the group of students, who had acted impulsively, to their senses. They blushed, lowered their heads in shame, stammered apologies, and then slunk away quickly.

Inside the dormitory, Gu Qing, sitting on the bed, silently stopped recording with her phone.

He carefully focused the camera only on the lower body of teacher Zhang Songwen and the feet of the students at the door, deliberately avoiding features that could identify individuals.

He was well aware of the horrors of cyberbullying and did not want these classmates, who might have acted on impulse, to be doxxed and attacked online by overzealous fans because of his videos, which would cause secondary harm and unnecessary trouble.

After recording an audio recording sufficient to prove the situation and the teacher's attitude, Gu Qing put away her phone.

Outside the door, Zhang Songwen had already successfully persuaded all the students to leave.

Subsequently,

Zhang Songwen immediately called Zhou Yiwei.

The two teachers acted swiftly and decisively, helping Gu Qing pack her necessary luggage and personal belongings, and carrying out a low-key and rapid "move".

The new residence is located in the school's faculty apartment building, which is mostly inhabited by teachers and their families. The management is stricter and the atmosphere is quieter.

Even the most unruly students wouldn't dare to cause trouble in the teachers' dormitory area.

Gu Qing was finally able to temporarily escape the endless onlookers and gain a relatively safe and peaceful space.

After the video was sent to Xu Wei, a professional team meticulously edited and planned the script. After Gu Qing himself made the final review and confirmation, the video was published on his personal blog in Gu Qing's voice.

The copywriting was very skillful: it clearly stated the predicament and stance, while carefully protecting the school's image, without showing any positive or identifiable information about the students.

At the same time, he also made a point of defending those students who impulsively broke into the dorm, expressing his understanding that everyone's enthusiasm was just a temporary loss of control, and urging fans to remain calm and not attack others;
Finally, I reiterated my initial motivation to focus on my studies and improve my professional skills.

as predicted,

The video caused a huge uproar as soon as it was posted on Gu Qing's personal blog, which has nearly 50 million followers.

"Gu Qing was harassed by a stalker who forced his way into her dorm room at Beijing Film Academy!"

"Top students face difficulties in pursuing their studies; Gu Qing is surrounded outside her dormitory and unable to move an inch!"

Related search terms skyrocketed to the top of various platform charts, generating explosive buzz. Those fans who were previously agonizing over their "girl next to the desk" and planning to "protest" to the school to change seats...

Upon seeing this video, all previous jealousy vanished, replaced by renewed anger.

That girl was just sitting next to her brother in class, which was still within a manageable range.

How dare these people invade my brother's private space where he sleeps and lives?!
This has completely gone beyond the scope of normal celebrity worship and has crossed the line into personal safety and privacy!

Damn it, why weren't they the ones who caused the trouble?!
"A bunch of stupid little bitches!!"

"I think you're all insane! How dare you touch my brother!!"

"Protect Gu Qing! Punish the illegitimate children severely!!"

The fans' anger erupted like a volcano.

Although Gu Qing's official count of over 50 million followers is likely lower than that of other top celebrities, the proportion of fake followers he bought may not be as high.

However, when it comes to the loyalty of core fans, organizational and mobilization capabilities, as well as the number of daily active users and their fighting power online, Gu Qing's fan base is absolutely in a class of its own in the Chinese entertainment industry.

The video was released around 5 p.m.

Just half an hour later, Gu Qing received an apology call from a senior official of the Beijing Film Academy. The official was sincere and said that he took the matter very seriously and would take immediate action.

An hour later, the official blog account of Beijing Film Academy quickly released a formal announcement, clearly stating that regarding this act of forcibly entering student dormitories and seriously disrupting campus order,

The students involved have been dealt with seriously in accordance with school rules and regulations, and the matter has been publicly announced.
The announcement also solemnly appealed to all Beijing Film Academy students to remain rational and courteous, respect the privacy and personal safety of others, and work together to maintain a positive campus environment.
If a similar incident occurs again, the school will take more severe disciplinary measures.

Although fans' anger has not completely subsided after seeing the outcome, the matter has finally come to a temporary end in the public eye.

Without waiting for the school to contact her again or feeling embarrassed, Gu Qing proactively deleted the blog video that had attracted so much attention.

This move not only gave the school a graceful way out, but also dispelled any potential resentment from the school administration.

This earned him great favor and satisfaction from the school's senior management, who believed that he was considerate of the overall situation and sensible.

So far,

Gu Qing's tumultuous first day of school, which resembled a mini-series, finally came to a relatively peaceful end.

at night,

The meal was brought over personally by teachers Zhang Songwen and Zhou Yiwei.

The three sat around a small dining table in the teachers' apartment, eating and chatting in a warm and harmonious atmosphere.

The conversation mostly revolved around Gu Qing's new challenges in acting and the questions he raised about the professional courses he was about to take.

"Gu, you don't need to worry too much about not being able to keep up."

Zhang Songwen picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and put it in Gu Qing's bowl, smiling as he comforted him, "The basic acting course in the first year of Beijing Film Academy is actually not complicated for an actor like you who has already had many hit works and has experienced real-life tempering on set."

Your practical experience far surpasses that of many theoretical senior students and even some teachers who lack filming experience.

He looked at Gu Qing with admiration in his eyes: "You are a true 'experiential learner,' honed through real listening, seeing, and feeling in front of the camera."

This is fundamentally different from those "academics" who only learn theory in the classroom and lack practical experience.

Actors like you are the backbone that the entertainment industry desperately needs right now.

Saying,

Zhang Songwen added, "By the way, Gu, try to avoid going to places like the cafeteria in the future."

too messy.

Breakfast and such...if either Yiwei or I have class in the morning, we'll bring it to your classroom on our way. You can eat it there without worry.

"Teacher Songwen, this...this is too much trouble for you and Teacher Yiwei, I'm so sorry..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qing's face showed a shy and embarrassed expression.

"Xiao Gu, look at what you're saying,"

Zhou Yiwei chuckled and shook his head, "It's just a matter of bringing some food along, what's the trouble?"

You helped me and Songwen so much before, and we haven't had a chance to properly thank you.

You're just too polite and too considerate, child.

Looking at this young man who held a prominent position in the entertainment industry yet remained humble, polite, and respectful of others, he was filled with emotion.

In his many years of experience in the arts, artists like Gu Qing, who achieved fame at a young age and remained at the peak of their careers, are extremely rare.

After counting and counting,

The image of another evergreen figure in the entertainment industry involuntarily came to mind—the "Heavenly King Andy Lau," who was also known for his dedication, humility, and mentorship of younger generations.

"However... Xiao Gu and Andy Lau are actually quite similar in some ways."

Zhou Yiwei thought to himself, "Both achieved fame at a young age, and both were crowned with the title of one of the 'Four Heavenly Kings' (top celebrities) during the most competitive period..."
It also boasts a huge fan base and extremely high national recognition.

Ultimately, those who truly withstand the test of time, standing strong for decades and even outlasting most of their competitors, are precisely artists like Andy Lau, who possess both virtue and talent.

He looked at Gu Qing, who was listening attentively to Zhang Songwen's script analysis, and a sense of anticipation welled up in his heart: "I wonder... if Gu Qing can outlast the other competitors in the future."

After dinner,

Zhang Songwen insisted on giving his master bedroom to Gu Qing to rest, while he and Zhou Yiwei made do in the guest bedroom for the night.

Having witnessed the chaos of the day, the school will undoubtedly prioritize Gu Qing's safety in his accommodations. Moving him to a well-managed, low-society faculty apartment is undoubtedly the most reasonable and safest option.

The residents here are all seniors and teachers in the industry, long past the age of fanatical idol worship. They are mature and steady in their dealings with others, which can minimize the chances of repeating the chaos of the past.

For Gu Qing, being able to live next to these experienced veteran actors and teachers with a profound understanding of art is a wonderful experience.

He was quite happy to accept the arrangement when there was an opportunity to exchange ideas and ask questions, and even felt that he had turned misfortune into blessing.

Sitting on the newly made bed, which smells of sunshine,

Gu Qing took out her phone and opened the class group chat.

There are two groups in total. One is the "Official Group of the 17 Experimental Class of Performing Arts," which includes 24 students and 13 substitute teachers.
The other is the "internal funhouse" of the experimental class, which has only 24 students.

now,

The students' internal group chat was buzzing with excitement. Many had seen the trending topic and were united in their condemnation of the harassers who had acted excessively towards Gu Qing.
Her words were full of concern, and she kept tagging Gu Qing, asking if he was frightened and if he was safe now.

As everyone knows,
Many of the videos about Gu Qing circulating online actually originated from these "enthusiastic" classmates.

Gu Qing found this somewhat naive and contradictory behavior to be exceptionally "simple" and "adorable".

Having witnessed too much of the complex human nature in the entertainment industry—smiling on the surface but stabbing in the back—these students' somewhat naive and even "endearingly foolish" actions seem rather naive.

It made him feel a long-lost simplicity and sincerity that belonged to the campus.

Gu Qing has not yet accepted all the friend requests from his classmates; he needs to maintain a certain distance.

But he wasn't idle either. He carefully counted the 24 classmates in the group, including himself, and then his fingers flew across the screen.

The next moment, the group chat was flooded with a series of eye-catching red messages!

Gu Qing sent out 23 exclusive red envelopes in a row!
Each red envelope was filled with the maximum limit of 200 yuan, and each one was specifically designated to every classmate except himself!
Then,

He also added a thank-you cartoon emoji.

The message read: "Thank you for your concern, everyone! I'll treat you to milk tea!"

"Aaaaaah!! Gu Qing called me baby?!!"

"Help! Is this real?! You're a tycoon! You're a big shot! I'm bowing down in awe!!"

"My goodness! Gu Ge actually uses such cute emojis?! Is he really this down-to-earth in private?! The contrast is so adorable!!"

The class group chat exploded instantly, as if a depth charge had been dropped on it!

Almost all the students in their dorm rooms let out unbelievable, explosive screams.
Especially in the girls' dormitory, they blushed, their hearts pounded, and they hugged each other excitedly.

Roommates from other departments and classes were attracted by the commotion and asked curiously why.

Upon learning that Gu Qing had been sending out red envelopes like crazy in the class group chat, everyone was so envious they lost control of their expressions and begged their classmates from the experimental class:
"Could you add me to your group too?! I promise I won't say a word, I'll just lurk and do nothing!" "Please! Just let me see Gu Qing's brother for one last time! Just one! Just one last time!"

"No, no! Absolutely not!"

The students in the experimental class, as proud as dragons guarding a treasure, unanimously refused.

"This is our exclusive internal group for the 17 Experimental Acting Class at Beijing Film Academy! It's sacred and inviolable!"

at the same time,

Zhang Jingyi, who also lived in the dormitory, was silently eating her dinner, her thoughts drifting as she recalled the embarrassing encounter of the day, feeling somewhat depressed.
The frantic "beep beep beep" of my phone pulled me back to reality.

She frowned slightly, somewhat annoyed.

"Jingyi! Hurry! Come and get your red envelope!!"

Someone tagged her.

"Huh? A red envelope?!"

Zhang Jingyi perked up and clicked into the class group chat with some confusion.

What comes into view is a sea of ​​red and the already flooded screen with "Thank you Gu Dingliu for the donation!"

She scrolled up and saw Gu Qing's thank-you message, which included an emoji.

"Thank you for your concern, everyone?... Did Gu Qing send this?"

"He...he called me baby?"

Zhang Jingyi's almond-shaped eyes widened slightly as she stared at the adorable emoji on the screen—a stark contrast to the cool and dazzling image she remembered. She found it hard to reconcile the two.

A strange, striking impact, with a strong sense of contrast, welled up inside me.

It's like everyone's universally acknowledged, aloof, and otherworldly god or goddess suddenly discovering one day...
Not only will he/she eat and drink like you, but he/she will also chat with you using cute emojis.

That feeling was not just surprise, but also an indescribable sense of intimacy and joy that brought us closer.

Zhang Jingyi herself didn't realize that her lips and teeth had unconsciously and gently bit the tip of the chopsticks. The bitterness in her heart caused by the misunderstanding during the day seemed to have dissipated a lot without her noticing.

"Ding-dong-"

With a crisp notification sound, she opened her own personalized red envelope.

"200 yuan!"

"This...this milk tea is way too expensive..."

She muttered something under her breath, then silently copied the thank-you formation of her classmates and mingled in the crowd to say, "Thank you, Gu Dingliu, for the donation!"

"Classmates, could you please send me a copy of tomorrow morning's class schedule? I haven't printed mine out yet."

Gu Qing asked in the group chat.

As soon as he finished speaking——

“Swish, swish, swish, swish——”

Countless course schedule images of varying resolutions flooded the screen instantly, like snowflakes, at a speed that was dazzling.

"You guys have such terrifyingly fast hand speed..."

Zhang Jingyi, a typical person with no digital skills, sighed. She had just opened the saved class schedule image in her album, ready to send it.

"Thank you, classmates! [bows.jpg] Everyone, get some rest early, see you tomorrow! Good night!"

Gu Qing sent another goodnight emoji.

Goodbye, goodbye!! Goodnight, Gu Qing!!

Goodnight, little brother Gu Qing! Sweet dreams!

"[Moon][Moon]"

Faced with the students' enthusiastic and heartwarming blessings,

Gu Qing smiled, exited the class group chat, opened the saved timetable, and began to examine it carefully.

At this glance,
He now understood why the Beijing Film Academy's acting department had so many substitute teachers.

The schedule from Monday to Friday is packed with classes, with almost no repetition, and the breadth of the topics covered is astonishing.

From foundational cultural courses such as "College English" and "Moral Cultivation and Legal Basis" to professional theoretical courses such as "Drama Theory," "Introduction to Art," and "Fundamentals of Film Directing."
Then there are core professional skills courses such as "Acting Fundamentals", "Dialogue Training", "Physical Training" and "National Vocal Music", as well as "Classic Film Appreciation" to expand aesthetic appreciation... a dazzling array of courses of various kinds.

Classes are scheduled from morning till night:

早晨：8:00~ 9:50（第一大节），10:00 ~ 11:50（第二大节）。

下午：13:30~ 15:20（第三大节），15:30 ~ 17:20（第四大节）。

Evening: 18:00~21:00 (elective or self-study).

Such a dense and comprehensive curriculum surprised Gu Qing, but also made her very happy.

This is precisely what he urgently needs to learn and solidify after temporarily putting aside his work and returning to school.

The only thing that made him chuckle was that the course "Ideological and Moral Cultivation and Legal Basis" was prominently listed on the course schedule.

"Beijing Film Academy... they really plan ahead and have put in a lot of effort."

Thinking about the future of disgraced celebrities who will frequently have their careers ruined,
Gu Qing smiled and shook her head.

It seems the school is worried that these students, who may become public figures in the future, might make mistakes in the complex entertainment industry, and is taking preventative measures in advance.

"Monday's schedule: In the morning, there are 'College English' and 'Dialogue Training'; in the afternoon, there are 'National Vocal Music' and 'Introduction to Art'; and in the evening, there is 'Appreciation of Classic Films'."

Gu Qing silently recited tomorrow's plan and began to find the corresponding textbooks from the books she had brought, doing some simple previewing.

After finishing your homework,
He then did several sets of squats and push-ups in the open space of the room to maintain basic physical exercise.

The busy and chaotic day had already left him physically and mentally exhausted.

After taking a hot shower, he lay down in the soft quilt and fell into a deep sleep almost as soon as his head hit the pillow.

I slept straight through until 7:20 the next morning when the alarm rang.

Gu Qing got up, brushed her teeth, and washed her face. While checking her phone, she saw a timely reminder message from Zhao Ya, as precise as an alarm clock:
"Boss, a new day has begun! Don't forget your basic skincare routine~ [cute]"

The guide also thoughtfully included a detailed diagram showing the correct order of using the skincare products, just in case this "skincare novice" made a mistake.

Gu Qing had no choice but to resign herself to her fate and rummage through her belongings, finding those bottles and jars in her luggage. Following the order shown in the diagram, she clumsily but earnestly began to apply them to her face.

Just completing this simple skincare routine takes twenty minutes.

After rinsing her face with clean water, Gu Qing habitually took out her favorite domestic brand, Dabao, which she used in her previous life and was known for its high cost-performance ratio, and applied it evenly to her face.

then,

He changed into the outfit that Zhao Ya had prepared in advance, with a "Monday" tag already attached:

The upper body is a soft, white lamb wool coat, with refreshing blue stripes on the cuffs and collar;
She paired it with a well-fitting pair of loose-fitting black trousers and clean white high-top sneakers.

The whole outfit is refreshing and clean, and full of youthful energy and sunshine.

Gu Qing put on a mask and hat, slung her backpack containing today's textbooks over her shoulder, and looked at herself fully armed in the mirror. She couldn't help but sigh—going out is really tiring.

"Ten more minutes... I should have enough time to get to the classroom."

Gu Qing rubbed his slightly hungry stomach, remembering that Teacher Zhang Songwen had promised to bring him breakfast, so he had no choice but to endure it for now, slung his schoolbag over his shoulder, and headed out to the classroom.

In the early morning, the campus is filled with students hurrying along, afraid of being late.

Although many people cast curious and admiring glances at this "handsome guy" with outstanding taste in clothing and an upright demeanor that couldn't be concealed even with a mask on,
However, under the pressure of early morning classes, most people still chose to hurry along, at most giving a silent compliment without disturbing the class.

This made Gu Qing feel much more relaxed, and she arrived at the classroom door without any problems.

He had just appeared at the door, before he had even taken off his mask,

"Wow--"

The students, who had been eagerly anticipating the moment, opened their mouths wide with satisfaction, conveying the most abundant emotional value.

"Gu Qing! Good morning! You look so good in this outfit!!"

"Brother Gu! This jacket is so cool! I need the link!!"

"Come on, with your style, you'd only ruin this outfit!"

"Damn it! You think wearing it is a waste? You can't expect anything good from a dog's mouth!"

The classroom was instantly filled with the students' chatter, brimming with youthful energy and good-natured jokes.

"good morning everyone."

Gu Qing took off her mask and hat, smiled and waved to her classmates, then walked towards her seat in the classroom.

His movement acted like a human magnet, drawing the attention of all the students in the classroom.

Everyone's necks involuntarily turned in the direction he was moving.

Many people couldn't resist secretly raising their phones to record Gu Qing's exciting reaction, which they were eagerly anticipating.

Zhang Jingyi, sitting in the back row, tucked her head slightly into her down jacket, lowered her head, and nervously gripped her pen.

The footsteps were very light, but they sounded terrifying to her ears, as if they were synchronized with her heartbeat.

Gu Qing paused in his steps.
He first glanced at Zhang Jingyi, who had moved to the outside seat, and gave up the quiet window seat for himself.

Subsequently,

His gaze then shifted to the seats inside—

Gu Qing's expression froze.

His desktop... oh no, what desktop is there?
The table, which should have been empty, was now like a small offering table, piled high with all kinds of breakfasts, snacks, pastries, and desserts... a dazzling sight.

Because there were so many things, they were carefully piled up two or three layers high, almost taller than his deskmate's head.

Gu Qing blinked, walked over to take a look, and found that the best was yet to come.

Besides the breakfast on the table

The cabinet was crammed with beautifully wrapped gifts and unopened envelopes.

Looking again at the area under the chair, and even the open space behind it... it had almost become a sea of ​​colorful flowers.

Red roses, pink roses, tulips, violets...

The aroma was so enticing that it made the tip of one's nose itch.

Gu Qing stood there, looking at the "Hill of Love," when a thought inexplicably flashed through her mind.

Teacher Zhang's breakfast from now on...

It seems that it's not needed for the time being.
